With the excellent assistance of Nick Cavazos my wife and I took delivery of a new BMW all-electric i3. We cannot say enough positive about the car, and Nick's detailed knowledge made the introduction to electric driving easy and confident. Nick demonstrated the new-to-electric-car features so well that we drove off with confidence while we learned for ourselves just how much we were going to love the driving experience, and the savings. When BMW gets a car to rival the range of the Tesla 85, and they will, we're getting one. From Nick. More

They made me want to own a BMW . . . Although I ended up falling for another car and purchasing my BMW closer to home, I drove two hours to BMW of Bakersfield and I was treated very well. Although I ended up falling for another car and purchasing my BMW closer to home, I drove two hours to BMW of Bakersfield and I was treated very well. I had two salesmen patiently help me; one by phone and the other when I arrived. I'm not a very trusting person, but I instantly felt at ease when dealing with BMW of Bakersfield. They knew that I wasn't sure what I wanted and didn't put any pressure on me to make an immediate decision. I drove several vehicles that day and when I left Bakersfield without buying, I was treated with the same level of respect. More

This time I purchased the new 428i cv. It is simply beautiful. I have been driving BMW for the last 12 years and currently own 2. You just cant beat the performance of the vehicle and then that wonderful warranty you just drive with peace of mind that there wont be repairs you have to pay for out of pocket. The employee's are all so helpful and accommodating. That is hard to find any more. Thank you BMW of Bakersfield I couldn't imagine driving anything else. More

This past Sunday, I drove 250 miles / 4 hours from San Jose to Bakersfield in order to finalize a deal with BMW of Bakersfield on my new E92 M3. And then, of course, drove it another 250 miles / 4 hours b Jose to Bakersfield in order to finalize a deal with BMW of Bakersfield on my new E92 M3. And then, of course, drove it another 250 miles / 4 hours back to the San Jose area the very same day. This post will chronicle my adventure, and include a positive review of the dealership. I've been looking for a pretty bare bones E92 M3 that had nothing but DCT and ZCP. It's tough finding those since they don't seem to sell that well, so dealerships tend to not order them. Most people are surprised to find an M3 with mostly cloth interior, but that actually appeals to me. I came across an Alpine White / Black Cloth E92 M3 with DCT and ZCP at BMW of Bakersfield almost two weeks ago. When I searched for reviews on the dealership, however, I was initially worried by what I saw on here and on Yelp. I did find the GSM's contact info on Yelp, and was pleased to see him (Alex Kargaran) responding to negative feedback, encouraging folks to reach out to him directly. On that basis, I decided to reach out to Alex about this M3. He was pretty responsive, and quickly put me in touch with one of his CA's at the dealership. Shortly thereafter, a CA by the name of Rashed "Rocky" Tayeh reached out to me by email. Gave me his personal email address and his cell phone, did not nag me at all, and constrained our communication to email as I preferred. The only time we spoke by phone was when I called him to put down a deposit after agreeing on the purchase. He quickly marked it off as Sold and moved it to the back so no one could touch the car. On Sunday, I drove down in a rented Ford Focus (ugh!), signed the paperwork within an hour max (I had walked in with a BMWFS Lease approval in hand), had lunch with the Finance Manager and Finance Director (Rocky got me/us In-n-Out Burger), and drove back that same evening with my brand new M3. First time buying from BMW of Bakersfield and I have to say, I'm quite pleased. While the drive down was horrendous in a Ford Focus, I'll definitely look into getting my next BMW there.

Bakersfield BMW kept my 528e for a week-and-a-half to perform minimal work and couldn't even find the time to install a new license plate from which I left on the front passenger seat. No one has ever bo perform minimal work and couldn't even find the time to install a new license plate from which I left on the front passenger seat. No one has ever bothered to tell me why the delay despite my voicemail messages. Nikki, my "Service Advisor", in particular,needs to find another line of work. More

Horrible experience thus far. All i have to say is: don't associate the BMW name with this dealership. BMWs are amazing; I'm on my third. The Sales person was great, but did not give a true representation of associate the BMW name with this dealership. BMWs are amazing; I'm on my third. The Sales person was great, but did not give a true representation of the condition of the car. I put a deposit down long distance, flew out and test drove the car. Take ALL day if you have to, because what they tell you definitely isn't the case. The repairs the car needs exceed $2000 and they are not willing the help; even though they gave me a 'warranty'! They know I'm not going to be back any time soon (1000mi away) so they think they can get away with it. Didn't think to check the Bluetooth that Mike G. said worked, turns out the TCU is bad and needs to be replaced. Both exterior mirrors need new mirror assemblies ($650 each!), I've paid less for complete engines. Bluetooth and folding, heated, rotating mirrors were listed as options. I'm pretty sure that's illegal, false advertising at the very least; fraudulent for sure. I can't wait to see what my lawyer thinks about all of it. When i put the car in reverse, the passenger mirror freaks out and rotates up and down constantly until back in drive. More annoying things than anything at this point. I was told it was a one owner vehicle that was just traded in. Later they sent me paperwork stating it was used as a loaner vehicle?? Great, can't wait to see how a 4.8is responds later in life to being driven as a loaner. So disheartening that someone would misrepresent and basically lie directly to my face. The story Mike told about nobody being able to touch or put miles on 4.8's is now just hillarious. Seriously? Wow. Funny that as soon as i hit rain, I realized both wiper blades were shredded. Seriously!? Warranty blades cost less than $2 for them. Definitely didn't receive an oil change, and no chance of checking for service bulletins. All they are focused on is pushing inventory. Once the deal has been made, warranty or not, they forget about you. I tried being composed and polite. I took the vehicle to Co's BMW and paid for a diagnostic on some of the issues I was experiencing. Sent the BMW R/O (service paperwork) to BMW Bakersfield and basically got a run around for 6 weeks. Not answering or returning calls or emails. Finally getting word back saying only: 'sorry, you're screwed". So much for warranties, at least I have documented proof 1000mi after the purchase. It will definitely be interesting to pursue this. If you're looking for a BMW, awesome. But don't get it from here. I've had better success with BMW Newport, and Co's BMW in Colorado is awesome. If you're local to Bakersfield, you may have better luck holding them to their word. More

Took my 745LI in for service it was 10 days new. When I got it out of the service dept it had scratches in the paint down the passenger ise and back bumper.
